4. Energizer Operating Description
Solar operation:
The solar panel produces electricity as soon as it is exposed to usable sunlight. The pasture fencer constantly requires elec-
tricity - by day as well as by night. The electricity generated in this way by the panel is stored in a rechargeable 12V battery,
which means the energizer can operate without sunlight or can be supplied directly by a.
9V battery. The solar panel may not always have a sufficiently large output
to fully recharge a rechargeable battery – especially in dark, grey and misty months (e.g. October to
February).
For temperatures around 0 degrees centigrade or below, we recommend the use of a large 9 V alkaline battery instead
of a 12 V rechargeable battery.
The energizer is operated primarily from the solar panel. If the solar panel does not have sufficient output,
the energizer switches automatically to the connected 9 volt battery or to the 12 volt rechargeable battery.
Rechargeable battery indicator:
The rechargeable battery indicator provides information about the rechargeable battery or battery voltage. The solar display
lights up constantly in green when the solar panel charging voltage is greater than the voltage of the rechargeable battery/
battery. Whilst the solar panel charges the 12V rechargeable battery, it does not charge the 9 volt battery.

Caution!
When using a solar system
Only carry out a battery or rechargeable battery test at start of the day ( no solar power supplied - cover panel )
6. Disassembly, Dismantling, Storage and Transport
Disassembly, Dismantling
Before starting disassembly:
●Switch off energizer
●
Disconnect entire energy supply from the energizer.
●
Remove operating/auxiliary materials and any remaining working materials and dispose of in an environmentally-compati-
ble manner.
Then properly clean sub-assemblies and parts and disassemble them in taking account of the local industrial safety &
environmental protection provisions in force.
Storage, Transport
Ensure that the energizer is both stored and transported only when switched off.
NOTE!
Ensure that rechargeable batteries are stored in ventilated and dry rooms.
7. Faults and Repairs
WARNING!
Repairs may only be carried out by qualified persons.
Only the spare parts prescribed by the manufacturer may be used.
Subject to technical alterations!
The CONTROL LED (LED1) lights up green when the energizer is working trouble-free. If the LED lights red, there is a fault.
